Blurb:

She has a proposition…to win their attention, passion, hearts.

For over a year, Mercy’s had her eye on Travis and Dutch, two of the hottest guys on the Oregon coast. Dark and dangerously virile, Travis owns a saloon that caters to bikers. Dutch looks like one, right down to his impressive tats, and operates a motorcycle repair shop on the premises.

When a position opens in the saloon’s kitchen, Mercy sees a way to be near these sinfully sexy men, wanting the job and lodging, her cabin snuggled between theirs.

Travis isn’t so sure about having Mercy nearby. She’s deliciously curvy, but too nice. He’s into temporary fun. To Dutch, forever is a dirty word.

Imagine their surprise when sweet little Mercy encourages wild nights of carnal pleasure with a dash of bondage and spanking…followed by friendship and tenderness.

Before she’s through, these tough guys will be the ones who’ve surrendered.

When she saw the kitchen, her hand went to her chest. Grease spatters and unwashed pans decorated the small, dingy space.

“Greg took off kind of fast,” Travis explained.

“Something about an outstanding warrant,” Dutch added. “He usually cleaned up after himself.”

She made a face at the inside of the stove. “When was the last time he really cleaned this?”

Dutch lifted his shoulders, feeling bad for her.

Sighing, she regarded the snug surroundings. Space enough for two. With three, it was crowded as hell, everyone practically on top of each other. The air too thick and charged. At least for Dutch. Mercy had pulled in her arms to avoid anything grimy, which plumped her breasts and deepened her cleavage.

Dutch’s legs went unsteady.

“Let me change and get my cleaning stuff,” she said. “I’ll have this place sparkling in no time.”

Travis didn’t step out of her way. “About what you’re wearing.”

“It’s really cute,” Dutch said, the words falling out of his mouth.

Mercy perked up. Travis frowned. “You can’t wear that around here.”

Surprise then confusion flickered across her face. “You mean while I cook.”

“I mean anywhere on the property.”

A flash of offense crowded out her first response. “Why?” She regarded her outfit. “What’s wrong with it?”

Travis screwed up his mouth as though he’d tasted something shitty. “Because you’ll get hurt.”

“I can take care of myself.”

“Until you can’t,” he countered.

“What if I want to attack them?” She looked from him to Dutch and back. “Is that allowed?”

“You mean because you’re only looking for a good time?” Dutch asked. “Nothing permanent? No strings?”

“Sure. Isn’t that what makes the world go ’round?”

Not according to Travis, at least when it came to her. Dutch looked at his friend, his expression saying, ‘Hey fool, you were wrong.’

Or at least misguided. There was still that hint of worship about Mercy. However, she was proving to be as practical as they were. Looking for fun. Happy to settle for that.

Until she wasn’t.

Fuck. Travis’s warning still echoed in Dutch’s mind.

Travis mumbled, “Dress appropriately. That’s all I ask. And stay out of trouble. I’ve got enough shit to handle without having to rescue you.”

Her sass evaporated. She looked so hurt Dutch had to stop himself from hugging her, and risk all hell breaking loose.

“Don’t worry, you won’t,” she murmured. “Let me get my stuff so I can clean this place.”

Travis finally stepped out of her way. Mercy stopped, then turned back to him. “Thanks for letting me stay.” On her tiptoes, she cupped his face and brushed her lips over his.

Dutch gaped.

She hushed to Travis. “I really appreciate it.”

Before he could say anything or start breathing again, she moved into Dutch, cupping his face. His cock shot to attention at her feathery touch, his lids sliding down. Her lips weren’t cold from the Popsicle as he’d imagined, but soft and achingly warm. She smelled of something flowery and feminine. Alluring as hell.

“Thanks for helping me move my stuff in,” she whispered to him, then left the kitchen and saloon, heading to her cabin.
